What is Gout and how can it be treated?

Описание: Gout is a form of arthritis that occurs when there’s an excess buildup of uric acid in the blood, leading to the formation of urate crystals in the joints. These sharp crystals can cause sudden and intense pain, swelling, and redness, typically in the big toe, though it can affect other joints as well. Often triggered by factors such as diet, alcohol intake, genetics, and certain health conditions, gout attacks can be managed through medication, dietary adjustments, and lifestyle changes. Recurrent gout attacks can lead to more severe joint damage, so early diagnosis and treatment are essential.
